Definitions
- This invention relates to a polyolefin composition. More particularly, it relates to a polyolefin composition for use in preparing sheets, which composition comprises a thermoplastic olefin polymer and a medium density or a high density polyethylene.
- the polyolefin composition is particularly useful in preparing geomembranes.
- MDPE Medium density polyethylene
- HDPE high density polyethylene
- Those polyolefin compositions are relatively low cost. They have good physical property balances, chemical resistance, and ultraviolet (UV) weathering performance. They are easily processed in blown film and flat die extrusion processes.
- Such properties include flexibility, impact resistance, dimensional stability, environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), and temperature resistance.
- ESCR environmental stress cracking resistance
- geomembranes made with MDPE or HDPE tend to lack flexibility and impact resistance, especially in cold climate or cold environment applications.
- Highly flexible elastoplastic polymer compositions provide an effective alternative to MDPE and HDPE for polyolefin-based geomembrane applications.
- Highly flexible elastoplastic polymer compositions provide a unique combination of flexibility, mechanical toughness, dimensional stability, barrier properties, and ESCR.

- HALS UV stabilizers
- primary and secondary antioxidants to simulate commercial geomembrane formulations and provide UV stability during accelerated weathering testing.
- the blended, polyolefm compositions were pelletized using a Berstorff ZE25 25 mm twin screw extruder with a strand pelletizing system.
- Compression molded specimens were prepared because polyethylene-based compositions are generally tested in that form. Specimens were molded on a COLLIN 200M press according to the ISO 293 standard. The tests for the compression molded specimens included: (a) Notched Izod Impact (ISO 180), (b) Flexural Modulus (ISO 178), (c) Vicat Softening Point (ISO 306), and (d) Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR) (ASTM D 1693).
- Impact testing determines a material's toughness and resistance to puncture by impact. Impact strength is used to evaluate how much energy is required to break the impacted specimen.
- Tables 1 and 2 show that the low temperature Izod impact strength of fPP is approximately 20 times higher than that of HDPE or MDPE. Moreover, the tables show that a large improvement in low temperature Izod is obtained by blending in 20% and especially 40% fPP. Much smaller improvements in impact resistance are obtained by using LLDPE at either 20% or 40% as modifier.
- the flexural modulus of a membrane's material affects the ability to prefabricate large sections in the manufacturing environment. A more flexible membrane will better conform to the substrate surface when the geomembrane is deployed and will be easier to install in cold climates.
- Tables 1 and 2 show that fPP is about 14 times more flexible than HDPE and about 8 times more flexible than MDPE.
- the reduction in stiffness obtained by blending fPP at 20% is significant (a reduction of approximately 33%), but with 40% fPP, an even greater improvement is achieved (65% reduction blended with HDPE and 54% reduction blended with MDPE).
- Tables 1 and 2 show that HDPE/MDPE blends with fPP tend to have a decreased Vicat softening temperature, which can help to broaden the heat welding window of the material.
- MD Machine Direction
- TD Transverse Direction
- MD Machine Direction
- TD Transverse Direction
- the tensile properties of a membrane provide practical indications about the behavior of the material when it is stretched during installation or in its service life. High tensile elongation at break demonstrates the ability of the polymer to be stretched prior to break and is a key property in geomembrane applications.
- Tables 4 and 5 show that although fPP has lower tensile stress at yield than either HDPE or MDPE, an even higher elongation at break can be obtained with fPP. Thus, HDPE/MDPE blends with fPP have lower tensile stress at yield (between 2% and 30% lower with the addition of 20% fPP) but higher elongation at yield.
- fPP has tensile stress at break similar to HDPE (slightly higher) and lower than MDPE. There seems to be a synergistic effect for tensile stress at break between HDPE and fPP — their blends have higher tensile stress at break than either the HDPE or the fPP alone.
- Hot wedge welding is carried out by a hot wedge, which is normally heated to a temperature of 300-500°C and pulled between the overlapping lower and upper geomembranes that need to be seamed.
- a system of guide rollers provides a complete surface contact between the membranes and the two separate tracks of the dual hot wedge.
- the surface layers of the geomembranes are melted, and the two melt layers are pressed together by a squeeze roller system immediately behind the wedge.
- the membrane surfaces are united by the wedge-shaped arrangement and pressed together by the squeeze rollers immediately behind the wedge nose, realizing the seam.
- Hot wedge temperature, roller force and welding speed, as well as process engineering and welding parameters can be independently controlled and adjusted to the correct values needed for the particular plastic material being used.
- fPP can be successfully welded at lower temperatures and higher speeds than HDPE/MDPE.
- HDPE/MDPE showed adhesion failure when welded at 400°C while fPP could be successfully welded at high speed even at 360°C.
- the weldability window of HDPE seems to shift to lower temperatures when blended with fPP or LLDPE.
- HDPE could be successfully welded at 400°C when 40% fPP or 20% LLDPE were added.
